Safety Guidelines

Operator Safety

All persons who service, install, dismantle or use suspended access equipment must fullycomprehend and act in accordance with this manual and all appropriate regulations. Acompetent person is a designated person, suitably trained, qualified by knowledge andpractical experience to carry out the required task safely.Training, manuals and other documentation are available at Sky Climber. Do not hesitateto contact us for more details.

Operators must be emotionally and physically able to withstand the stress of working atelevations. Do not work at elevations if subject to seizures or loss of physical control.Operators must be safety conscious, responsible and not under the influence of alcohol,drugs or other substances.

All persons using suspended access systems must at all times wear safety harnessesattached by lanyards and rope grabs to independent lifelines. Use short lanyards andattach the rope grabs as high on the lifeline as practically possible. Lifelines shall befastened to a fixed anchorage other than the rigging systems. Do not disconnect or removeharnesses or lanyards until safely on the ground or until completely disembarked fromsuspension system to a safe location.

Safety helmets should be worn at all times when servicing, disassembling or using theequipment.

Provide protection for operators from collision with overhead obstacles and falling objects.

Provide adequate protection below the suspended system to prevent injury to personsfrom falling objects. Keep all persons from beneath suspended platforms.

Maintain contact with your supervisor at all times.

Make a copy of this manual available to every person using, erecting and assembling thisequipment.

Safety Guidelines (continued)

Operation Safety

All suspended access equipment must be handled with care: during handling of equipment,installation and use (place loads gently on platform).

Inspect and test the equipment before use, rigging, re-rigging, after de-rigging and atregular intervals to make sure that it is maintained in a safe workable condition. Thesupervisor should assign a competent person for inspection purposes. In case of equipmentfailures or difficulties noticed during testing and inspection prior to use, contact your nearestSky Climber representative and do not use the equipment until it is repaired or replaced.Only use Sky Climber spare parts. Do not alter any equipment. Maintenance may only be

carried out by Sky Climber representatives.

Verify if all decals and nameplates are properly affixed and legible. If they are obscured ormissing, replacements are available from Sky Climber.

Always verify if a platform is properly counterweighted: check the rigging systems prior toeach shift.

Never load the platform above the indicated safe working load.

In case of an emergency during operation press the red emergency stop button on the hoistor control unit. The platform will halt immediately (power is cut off, brakes are activated).Solve the problem first, prior to further use.

Do not use hoists in conjunction with cableless control systems.

Never use suspended access systems for transportation of passengers from one level toanother.

Keep the vertical travel zone of the platform free of obstructions. When running into anobstruction immediately stop the platform. Inspect the platform and the obstruction for

possible damage and/or hang-up. Proceed in a safe direction. Take care not to overload thesystem or get in slack rope situations when running into an obstacle.

Beware of obstacles when there is too small of a clearance between platform and faade.Use long-handled tools when working at large distances between platform and faade.

Safety Guidelines

Operation Safety (continued)

Do not handle suspended loads in conjunction with suspended platforms.

When leaving a suspended platform (in mid-air) first secure the platform to the face ofthe structure in order to keep it from moving away. Do not forget to disconnect theplatform from the structure before lifting or raising, otherwise serious injuries and/ordamage can occur.

Hazardous situations occur when it is not possible to lower platform to a safe position,over water and public roads.

Never alter equipment once the platform is suspended. Keep all equipment out ofreach of unauthorized persons.

Do not use suspended access equipment in severe conditions: extreme environmentalconditions, corrosive environment, strong magnetic fields, explosive atmospheres.

Do not use suspended access equipment when handling loads could lead to dangeroussituations: molten metal, acids/bases, radioactive materials, brittle loads.

Wind Speeds

Use adequate restraints when lifting height exceeds 40m (131) with wind speeds above50km/h = 14m/s (31mph).

Do not use suspended access equipment when hazards could arise from wind pressureacting onloads having a surface area in excess of 2m (21.5 SQFT).

With the occurrence of high winds the platform should either be lowered to the ground orraised to the roof top and secured.

Do not use suspended access equipment when wind speed exceeds 50km/hour

High Voltage Power-lines

Refer to regulations, federal, state and local codes when working in the vicinity ofelectrical overhead power-lines. Consult the local power company for safe operatingprocedures.

The minimum separation between live power lines and platform is 3m (10).

Touching live power-lines may result in death or serious injury.


8/14

Welding

During welding, the electrocution hazard and the risk of the welding current passing throughthe steel wire ropes shall be eliminated by taking the following precautions:

Use insulated thimbles at each suspension point. Insulate surplus steel wire rope storedon roof to prevent grounding or, terminate steel wire rope at insulated thimble.

Cover steel wire rope above hoist and Sky Lock for a distance of 1.2m (4) withinsulating material: rubber hose taped in place. Insulate tail line below hoist: extenddownward sufficiently to prevent contact with platform. The portion of tail line hanging freebelow platform must be guided and/or retained so that it does not become grounded.

Cover each hoist, Sky Lock and wire winder with protective covers made out of insulatingmaterial.

Connect a ground conductor from platform to work piece. The size of this conductor shallbe equal to or greater than the size of the stinger lead. It must be a secondary conductorand shall not be in series with the primary conductor between welder and work piece.

Marine Environment Salty environments may deteriorate aluminum & steel components. Frequently inspectequipment.

Excess material accumulation Make sure that excess material does not clutter up the

hoist, Sky Lock or platform.

Assembly Instructions

Sky Stage Ultra Boiler Platform

Sky Stage Ultra Boiler Platform is a modular work platform. All components arewelded out of high quality aluminum. The platform length can vary between 1 and 9meters configurations. A section consists of 2 side panels, a floor panel and 2 top

rails. A rigid structure is formed by attaching sections to connecting frames withconnecting pins. Top rails are telescopic on both sides of the stage. Wall rollers andcasters are optional.

Assembly Instructions (continued)

Step 1. .Assemble platform by placing 2-side panels vertically facing each other; secure ina connecting frame/post with locking pin to each side panel. Repeat this step for one to

three sections, placing connecting frames, pins and posts in between each section.

Step 2. Place the standard end stirrup at opposite ends of the platform. Use theconnecting frame to attached the stirrup to the platform with pins.

Step 3. Place the folding floor between the two side panels.

Step 4. Place the wall roller on the side panel, one each toward opposite ends.

Step 5. Place the top rails in the posts with pins.

Step 6. Reverse the assembly instructions for disassemble of the platform.

See specific Hoist Operators Manual for instructions on mounting hoist and sky lock tothe platform stirrups.

Safe Working Load

1. Determine working load limit (WLL) of hoist.

2. Add WLLs of hoists used.

3. Compare total WLL of hoists less the self weight of platform with load rating (LR) ofplatform.

4. Use lowest value as the Safe Working Load (SWL).

Do not concentrate all loads but equally distribute over total length of platform.

If loads are concentrated on one half of a platform then the SWL equals the WLL of 1

hoist less half the self-weight of the platform (never exceed floor rating).

The load on the floor panels must not exceed the floor rating: maximum 180kg permeter platform or 120lbs per foot platform.
